B) gravitational to kinetic
Explanation:
The skydiver, when he is located at a certain height h above the ground, possesses gravitational potential energy, equal to:
where m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. As he falls, its height h decreases, while his speed v increases, so part of the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is given by
so, we see that as v increases, the kinetic energy increases. Therefore the correct answer is
B) gravitational to kinetic
Explanation:
Let us assume that the mass of a pitched ball is 0.145 kg.
Initial velocity of the pitched ball, u = 47.5 m/s
Final speed of the ball, v = -51.5 m/s (in opposite direction)
We need to find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and the impulse applied to it by the bat. The change in momentum of the ball is given by :
So, the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball is 14.355 kg-m/s.
Let the the ball remains in contact with the bat for 2.00 ms. The impulse is given by :
Hence, this is the required solution.
